He gets up before
the dawn
Packs a lunch an'
a thermos full of coffee
It's another day
in the dusty haze
Those burnin' rays
are wearin' down his body
And diesels worth
the price of gold
And it's the cheapest grain
he's ever sold
But he's still holdin' on
He just takes the tractor
another round
An' pulls the plow
across the ground
And sends up
another prayer
He says Lord,
I never complain
I never ask why
But please don't let
my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath
this Amarillo Sky
That hail storm
back in '83
Sure did take a toll
on his family
But he stayed strong
and carried on
Just like his Dad and
Grandad did before him
On his knees every night
He prays please let my
crops and children grow
'Cause that's all
he's ever known
He just takes the tractor
another round
An' pulls the plow
across the ground
And sends up
another prayer
He says Lord,
I never complain
I never ask why
But please don't let
my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath
this Amarillo Sky
An' he takes the tractor
Another round
Another round
Another round
An' he takes the tractor
Another round
Another round
He says
I never complain
I never ask why
But please don't let
my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath
this Amarillo Sky
Underneath this
Amarillo Sky
